Charlie Kirk shot, another conservative assassination attempt.

[Devo]

Well, it seems the angry rhetoric of the left has driven another NUTBAG to attempt to murder Charlie Kirk.

Not much detail at this point, but prayers for him in any case.

[HDGristle]

I'd argue that Charlie Kirk's own inflammatory rhetoric could have played into it.

Maybe we wait for the details. No prayers for him from me, though. Just good thoughts and vibes.

Political violence is no bueno and not the way.

Yeah, its why I added a prayer, knowing only certain folks here would have the decency to do so.

Perhaps its a mindset like that makes it easier to see someone you don't agree with politically murdered.

As for the words he uses?

Take a good, damn hard look around at the speech here.

Hey, I said good thoughts and vibes. You can pray for whoever you want as many times as you want.

Shit, you can pray for him triple on my behalf if you'd like. I give you full permission.

You are one sick fuck going down the avenue of victim shaming.

And then quote MSNBC almost song and verse.

The man made a living by being a divisive figure. Like some others we talk about in these threads. But every one is surprised when someone tries to hurt them.

Free speech is a great thing but the aphorism “he had it coming” didn’t come from the aether.

You got to watch your back if you want to anger people the way he does.

Charlie Kirk is not a victim.

EDIT: Fine, he’s a gunshot victim. But I still think he brought this upon himself.

I don't watch MSNBC. What was the quote?

No, for the moment he's a victim of an attempted murder.

Reject political violence folks

Reject it even if guys like Charlie Kirk tell you that he's willing to accept some gun deaths to protect the 2nd Amendment because he feels it's worth it

Exactly. Clutch your pearls somewhere else, MAGA.

Right-wing provocateur Charlie Kirk has been shot on an Utah campus this afternoon. As of this moment he is in critical condition.

Kirk said this in 2023.

“I think it’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights. That is a prudent deal. It is rational.” - Charlie Kirk


Even worse, he made the comments in 2023, following a mass shooting at the Covenant School in Nashville, Tennessee.

Thoughts and prayers

[tommy156]

Anyone out there still think the left doesn't own guns, too?

[HDGristle]

Trump has confirmed that Charlie Kirk has died. That's very sad.

Your blinders only work in one direction when it comes to divisiveness.

The way I remember it is somewhere around 2014 your side racialized and sexualized everything. You put the population into these neat little groups and everything became a comparison.

I’ll say one thing with the Ukrainian girl yesterday and Charlie today you sure are radicalizing a large chunk of the groups.
